<p>That link shows a sample of entry level jobs possible.</p>
<p>It says marketing coordinator as a sample job with a communications degree. That is a fine entry-level job that pays on par with most other entry-level jobs ($30-40k). That job requires 0-2 years worth of experience. What the article assumes however, and incorrectly, is that there is no room for promotion and pay increase. I know quite a few communication majors and after working entry-level jobs, they move up. A mid career salary is much higher, at least $70-80k. </p>
<p>Additonally, I mentioned getting an MBA. That is my strategy. Get an entry level position, get some experience in the advertising/marketing world, attend a good mba program, and work in marketing. After the MBA, the salary shoots up to 6 figures.</p>
<p>Lastly, what the above poster says is also true. Someone who sleeps through their undergraduate degree will not go far. But someone who is much more involved on campus with clubs, has relevant internships, and manages to network will obviously be more successful.</p>
